The Dallas Cowboys have officially hired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach following Mike McCarthy's departure after a 7-10 season. Schottenheimer, a seasoned coach with 25 years of experience, including two as the Cowboys' offensive coordinator, has been a familiar presence for quarterback Dak Prescott. The decision ends a brief and limited search for McCarthy's successor, with Schottenheimer being the only known candidate interviewed. An introductory press conference is set for Monday, as the Cowboys aim to rebound from recent playoff struggles and return to contention in the NFC.
